The AI agent economy is arriving without governance infrastructure

Agents are executing financial transactions, accessing sensitive data, and making consequential decisions — autonomously, at scale, right now. The question every board will face is not whether to use agents. It is whether they can prove those agents were governed.

AgentGoverning exists to define what proof looks like.

Three pillars of governance assurance

AGS v2.1
796 governance dimensions across 81 landscapes. The minimum standard any organisation must meet before deploying autonomous agents in regulated environments.
Independent Verification
Adversarial testing, not self-assessment. Platforms submit API endpoints. We run the tests. We publish the results. Methodology never disclosed.
Open Standard
CC BY 4.0. Free to read, free to cite, free to implement. Published openly. Maintained independently. No vendor affiliation.
